Preheat the oven to 350ºF degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream the butter and sugar on high for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add in the egg, jam, raspberry extract (optional), and vanilla extract and mix on high for 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. *If you are using food color, mix it in during this step.
Add in flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix on low until fully incorporated and a dough forms.
Mix in the mini chocolate chips until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a 1 ½ tbsp. cookie scoop drop the cookie dough onto the parchment-lined cookie trays approximately 2 inches apart and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just barely light golden brown and the centers appear slightly under-baked.
Let the cookies cool on the tray for at least 10 minutes before removing them to a cookie rack to fully cool. Enjoy!
